God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 105: Ghost Attack: Danger Surrounds

Heavy footsteps grew closer, and the ground began to tremble slightly. Boom, boom, boom, each sound hammered at Chu Feng's heart, leaving him with an inexplicable sense of oppression. He turned sharply and saw a group of dark blue figures slowly emerging from the far end of the corridor. There were so many of them, it seemed as if the end was endless.

These figures, clad in ancient soldier armor and armed with spears and shields, marched in unison, like a well-trained army. Their faces were hidden beneath their helmets, revealing only two faint blue pinpricks of will-o'-the-wisp flickering in their eye sockets, emitting a sinister and terrifying aura.

"Ghost Soldier!" Chu Feng's heart sank, and he tightened his grip on the dagger. He felt the air around him grow even colder. The castle's restrictions still firmly suppressed his abilities, preventing him from exerting his full strength.

Liu Er, who was beside him, screamed in surprise and clutched Chu Feng's sleeve tightly, her body trembling slightly. "What...what are they?" she asked fearfully, her voice trembling so much that it was almost inaudible.

Chu Feng didn't answer. His gaze was fixed on the approaching ghost soldiers, his mind rapidly formulating a countermeasure. With so many ghost soldiers, a head-on attack would undoubtedly be like an egg against a rock. He had to find a place to hide and wait for the opportunity to find a breakthrough.

Suddenly, a deep growl came from behind the ghost soldiers, and several huge ghost hounds appeared at the end of the team. They were emitting black mist, their eyes were bloodshot, and their sharp teeth flashed coldly in the dark blue light.

The appearance of the ghost hounds made the situation even more critical. Chu Feng knew that these hounds had a keen sense of smell, and even if they hid, they would soon be discovered by them.

"Hurry up!" Chu Feng shouted, pulling Liu'er's hand and running to the other end of the corridor. The ghost soldiers and ghost hounds discovered their tracks and immediately sped up, chasing after them.

There were some ancient oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, which looked particularly eerie and terrifying under the dim blue light. Chu Feng ran while observing the surrounding environment, hoping to find a place to hide.

At this moment, he saw a half-open wooden door at the end of the corridor. He rushed over without hesitation, pulling Liu'er with him, pushed the door open, and hid inside.

"Shh..." Chu Feng placed his index finger on his lips, signaling Liu'er to keep quiet. He gently closed the door and observed the situation outside through the crack.

The ghost soldiers and ghost hounds quickly chased to the door. They lingered at the door for a while, as if looking for traces of Chu Feng and Liu'er.

Chu Feng's heart was in his throat. He held the dagger tightly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Suddenly, a ghost hound slammed into the wooden door. With a loud "bang", the wooden door shook violently, and Chu Feng's heart sank suddenly.

"They are coming in..." Liu'er's voice trembled and was full of fear.

Chu Feng didn't say anything. His eyes were fixed on the wooden door, and the dagger in his hand was ready to strike.

"Get behind me..." he whispered, his tone firm and calm.

The wooden door creaked with a piercing sound, the crack growing wider and wider, and it looked like it was about to burst open. Chu Feng protected Liu'er behind him and pushed her behind a pile of dilapidated furniture in the corner of the room. "Hide well, don't come out!" he whispered, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.

Liu'er clutched a piece of rag tightly and looked at Chu Feng in horror. She knew she could do nothing now and could only pray silently that he would be safe.

The ghost hound was the first to break through the rotten wooden door, and a cold aura instantly swept through the entire room. Its scarlet eyes locked onto Chu Feng, and it let out a deafening roar before suddenly pouncing on him.

Chu Feng was prepared. He dodged the hound's first attack with a sideways movement. The room was small, but it was filled with various items, which actually gave Chu Feng an advantage. He took advantage of the terrain, weaving in and out of the debris like a nimble fish, constantly toying with the ghost hound.

Ghost soldiers followed closely behind him as they streamed into the room, their spears stabbing at Chu Feng repeatedly, but he deftly dodged them all. He rolled, leaped, and leaped, like he was performing a thrilling parkour. Each dodge was thrilling, yet filled with a sense of confidence that he was in control.

He even had time to observe the ghost soldiers' movements, finding that their attack patterns were simple and their speeds were not too fast. As long as he could find the pattern, he could easily dodge them. This gave him a glimmer of hope. Perhaps he could really escape with Liu'er.

The ghost hound's patience seemed to be exhausted. It let out an angry roar and suddenly changed its attack strategy. It no longer blindly chased Chu Feng, but circled around the pile of debris, looking for a breakthrough.

Chu Feng secretly cried out in alarm. He knew the hound's target was Liu'er hiding in the corner. He had to get rid of the hound as soon as possible, otherwise Liu'er would be in danger.

At this moment, the ghost hound found a gap, and it leaped suddenly and pounced on the corner where Liu'er was.

"No!" Chu Feng shouted, and rushed forward without thinking, using his body to block Liu'er.

At the critical moment, he suddenly thrust the dagger into the ghost hound. The dagger pierced the hound's body, causing it to let out a sharp wail. The hound, in pain, took a few steps back.

Chu Feng took the opportunity to pull Liu'er behind him, and with his back against the wall, he stared warily at the ghost hound and the approaching ghost soldiers. He was scratched in many places by the ghost hound's claws, and his clothes were soaked with blood, but he showed no intention of retreating.

The ghost hound growled deeply, its crimson eyes fixed on Chu Feng, as if preparing for a more violent attack. The ghost soldiers also gathered around him, their spears gleaming with a faint blue light, surrounding Chu Feng.

"It seems that the real battle has just begun..." Chu Feng said in a low voice, his eyes full of determination.

He gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to face a new round of challenges.

"Protect yourself..." Chu Feng said to Liu'er behind him, then rushed towards the ghost soldier closest to him.

The dagger sliced ​​through the icy air, emitting a faint glint. Chu Feng's figure twisted and turned in the narrow space, like an agile cheetah, dodging the attacks of the ghost hound. The hound's sharp claws repeatedly scraped against his clothes, leaving deep scratches, and even nearly caught his throat several times. Chu Feng gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain. He knew that if the hound bit him, the consequences would be disastrous.

The ghost hound was incredibly fast and far more powerful than a human. Chu Feng could only rely on his agility to maneuver around it. He constantly shifted his attack angles, trying to find the hound's weaknesses. The dagger pierced the hound's body again and again, but only caused minor damage. The dark blue flames burned through the hound, but they couldn't truly destroy it, instead fueling its ferocity.

The hound let out a deafening roar and lunged at Chu Feng. Chu Feng dodged the attack, but the hound's sharp claws left a deep wound on his arm. Blood gushed out instantly, staining Chu Feng's clothes red.

"Ah!" Liu Er, hiding in the corner, screamed. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any louder noises, her eyes filled with worry and fear. Seeing Chu Feng injured in order to protect her, her heart was filled with emotion and guilt. She knew that there was nothing she could do now and could only silently pray that he would be safe.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to endure the pain. He knew he couldn't fall. He had to protect Liu'er, he had to survive. He observed the hound's movements, looking for an opportunity to strike back.

Finally, when the hound pounced again, Chu Feng found an opportunity. He suddenly jumped back, dodging the hound's attack, and then, before the hound landed, he stabbed the dagger in his hand into its abdomen.

The hound let out a shrill wail, its body trembling violently, and the dark blue flames dimmed. Finally, it collapsed to the ground, dissipating into the air in a wisp of green smoke.

Chu Feng panted heavily, looking at the green smoke on the ground, feeling a slight sense of relief. However, before he could recover, the ghost soldiers surrounded him. Their spears flashed with a faint blue light, and they approached like messengers from hell.

Chu Feng leaned against the wall, warily watching the surrounding ghost soldiers. He knew the real battle had just begun. He gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to face the new round of challenges.

Liu'er looked at Chu Feng, her eyes filled with worry and dependence. She knew that Chu Feng was her only hope.

Chu Feng's eyes swept over the surrounding ghost soldiers and then fell on a strange rune on the wall. He felt a powerful force emanating from the rune, which seemed to be related to the restriction in the castle.

"What...what is this?" Chu Feng muttered to himself and reached out to touch the rune.

A powerful force instantly bounced him away, and he staggered back a few steps and hit the wall.

The runes on the wall suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light...
